2 Notwithstanding
the maximum density on net buildable site area, the maximum number
of dwelling units permitted on a particular tract shall in no circumstance
be greater than the maximum number of dwelling units that actually
could be constructed on the site without open space clustering given
the development constraints of the physical site and the otherwise
applicable Township ordinance requirements. A plan showing sufficient
detail to demonstrate the maximum number of dwelling units that could
be constructed on the site shall be provided to the Township.
